Most businesses don't fail from a lack of effort.
They fail from a lack of clarity.

What we hear

“We’re putting out fires all day.”

“It’s chaos behind the scenes.”

“If we don’t fix this, I don’t think I want to keep doing this.”

“We’re still relying on referrals and just hoping for the best.”

Sound familiar?
You’re not alone.

You don’t need another deck.
You need a coach who’s in the mess with you.

Strategic thinking, without the strings

Most business owners would benefit from a board-level voice, but don’t want to give up control or equity.
That’s the gap I fill. A coach in your corner. A partner in the details. A second brain for the hard stuff.

WHAT WE DO

ZG Group exists to give founders a corner coach: someone who sees the blind spots, challenges the excuses, and stays with you until things start to click.

We don’t replace your culture. We strengthen it with structure. Most businesses don’t need more ideas. They need follow-through. We coach alongside your team, week by week, problem by problem, until the results show up in revenue.

Our Focus

Drive Predictable Referrals: Turn “good relationships” into reliable pipelines that don’t rely on memory or luck.

Create Real Accountability: Scorecards that tell the truth. You’ll know who’s winning, who’s stuck, and why.

Free Up the Owner: Shift you out of daily fires so you can focus on strategy and growth.
